Hi, I am getting intermittent error messages in the log when my mail client tries to create/open a folder named ".imhoprefs". Some accounts seem to able to do it, but I have at least one that gives the log error: Feb 7 09:29:54 acad-cl1 dovecot: imap(tkay): close() failed with index file (in-memory index): Bad file descriptor I traced through the code, and it seems to be coming from

Hi, I think I already know the answer to this and I agree with it, but I have a question about "invalid" mailbox naming decisions in dovecot. Technically, RFC3501 (Section 5.1, pg. 18, client consideration 3) says that * and % are legal in mailbox names, though it implicitly discourages their use. We just migrated to dovecot, and unfortunately have a few users who used * in their

The configuration files has settings that seem to address the issues of using indexes on NFS (i.e. locking and mmap fixes), but we are using Dovecot on NFS, and when the load gets high we start to see a lot of NFS stale file handle errors, particularly with MS clients like Outlook. I see the discussion about these errors from last year. Any updates on the state of the code? Should we be using

Environment: Dovecot 1.0beta8 Host: 64 bit Red Hat AS4 Linux (2.6.9-34.0.1) Disks: NFS netapp In the case below, the two connections were going through two separate servers sharing disks via an NFS NetApp. Here is the sequence of operations: 1. Open a connection to a folder (say mail/Trash) 2. Open a connection to another folder (say Inbox) 3. Move messages from Inbox to Trash using this

Hi, I am using Dovecot 1.0 beta 7, moving to beta8 probably tomorrow. I am seeing a few RFC compliance issues with IMAP responses. I have an in-house IMAP client that caches IMAP data for a web mail system (it parses millions of IMAP interactions a day), and it reports whenever it gets a line that does not look RFC compliant. Unfortunately, users modify their mailboxes before I can get a copy

Hi, We are using Dovecot with maildir, and the mail client requests flags, internaldate, and uid for all messages on folder open, which on average takes 3 seconds, but for large folders is much longer. It seems like I want mail_cache_fields to include "flags", but which date corresponds to internaldate? date.received? Is UID always cached for messages, or does it have to read through

There was a patch posted to fix dotfile folder names in this mail: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2005-July/008127.html I have a web mail client (which stores preferences in a dot-file/folder through IMAP) and pine users (address book is a dot-folder in IMAP) that this affects. I can certainly hand-apply the patch, but I'd feel a lot more comfortable if this had some future in the real

How does Dovecot handle accounts when writes are denied, such as in situations when a user is over quota, or the filesystem is full? -- Anthony Kay University Computing Center (541) 346-1719 GPG Fingerprint: B0DB D46A 60AF FAE7 A94A 5075 0CB4 4D88 9F4F 7F09 Only a statue can be perfect, and even then it casts a shadow. - Merle Fossum

If a mail folder contains quotes, the IMAP server may respond with a line like: 1 list "" "a/b/"X" Y Z" The specific example I saw had this exact form (it was in a nested folder, and one of the words was quoted). -- Anthony Kay University Computing Center (541) 346-1719 GPG Fingerprint: B0DB D46A 60AF FAE7 A94A 5075 0CB4 4D88 9F4F 7F09 Physics is like sex: sure,

In the midst of evaluating Dovecot for use in solving some mbox locking issues (while also waiting for our eventual migration to maildir), I had an epiphany. It looks like Dovecot's auto-detection of mail formats would allow us to migrate from mbox to maildir on a user-by-user basis! I was thinking: 1. Let dovecot autodetect mail storage 2. Use some procmail trickery to detect which format

Hi, We are using mbox and UW IMAP, and are having issues because UW IMAP does not support multiple client access when you use NFS for the mail files. I've done some research (see the comments after my 2 questions below), and most of the other major IMAP servers simply don't support it (courier is about the only one that has a positive comment). How much testing have you done

I know df does not report the correct size for btrfs raid systems. Is there any other way to find out the total capacity of a btrfs file system? Or at least the raid level for data / metadata? My test system is Ubuntu 10.10 alpha with btrfs 0.19 and a 2.6.35 kernel (don''t know which rc). # uname -a Linux ubuntu 2.6.35-12-generic #17-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 26 18:48:06 UTC 2010 x86_64

After months of testing in the "work in progress" pkgsrc-wip playground, dovecot-1.0b2 is now in the main pkgsrc mainline and will be tracked up through the 1.0 release and beyond. This means it's now much easier to get Dovecot 1.0 up and running on NetBSD and any other platform supported by pkgsrc (see www.pkgsrc.org); prior to this, 0.99.x was the newest available. Binary

As I stated before, I had in the work a utility to control spaces around punctuation and at some other places. Now, I've integrated it, with a few extra quote goodies, within PHP SmartyPants, as an extension just like PHP Markdown Extra extends PHP Markdown. And so appeared SmartyPants Typographer (announcement on my weblog)

I have been trying to compile R. I downloaded R-1.0.1.tgz(I think; the original tar file was untarred) and unpacked it with gzip. Now all the R files are in a directory named R-1.0.1. The source files (.c) are in R-1.0.1/src. There are files in R-1.0.1 named 'Makefile.in', 'Makeconf.in', and 'Makeconf'. I followed the instructions in INSTALL by typing

Hello all, The subject line is a little ambitious, although that is my ultimate goal, to be able to run the National Geographic TOPO! program to look at maps of Arizona and California on my laptop using only Linux. I don't even own a copy of Windows, nor do I desire to, so hopefully Wine will be my friend. So far it isn't though. I haven't even got as far as trying to run TOPO! I

We have a FreeBSD webserver with Samba 2.2.8. It has been set up as a member-server of our active directory domain, and all seems good so far. What I want is to let a set of users access a share (www) as the www-user, and they should authenticate against AD, and they should not need an account on the BSD machine at all. I don't want any add user script and so on, I only want them to access

I'm getting these errors on starting up winbindd, and I am not sure if this is normal in my situation, I have no trust accounts, I don't deal in AD domains.

Hello, I have a dual boot with Windows 7 64 bit enterprise edition and Opensolaris build 134. This is on Sun Ultra 40 M1 workstation. Three hard drives, 2 in ZFS mirror, 1 is shared with Windows. Last 2 days I was working in Windows. I didn''t touch the hard drives in any way except I once opened Disk Management to figure out why a external USB hard drive is not being listed.
